That all changed, of course, when the clock ticked over into the 1980s. The visit of Arsenal found Leeds slowly finding their feet after that legendary sniffer of all things loose in the penalty area, Allan Clarke, had taken over as manager. Leeds were struggling to find the net and Clarke shored up his defence before worrying Leeds manager Allan Clarke with his assistant Martin Wilkinson. about being too expansive Eddie at the other end.

That’s 46 years of incredible loyalty. In fact he’s only missed one friendly and that was through no fault of his own. An air traffic control strike prevented him from boarding a flight to Toronto – he had a match ticket and a flight ticket. Brian Clough lasted 44 days. Jock Stein lasted 44 days. Another 19 managers have come and gone (20 if you include Eddie Gray twice – although he’s far from gone, given his role as commentator on Yorkshire Radio with the brilliant Thom Kirwin, hospitality stuff and complete and utter devotion to Leeds United) and Brian McDermott is the latest man to depart Elland Road.

Leeds NEVER conceded five goals … period! In fact, in the 19 games played up to that point, United‟s iron clad defence had kept 10 clean sheets, including matches against Liverpool, table-topping Arsenal and mighty Ferencvaros (twice) in the Fairs Cup final. But there was no hint of a fluke about the result: Burnley had been on fire and took the Whites apart with some breathtaking football. By the time of the return fixture at Elland Road the weekend before Christmas, normal service had been resumed … Leeds were undefeated since Turf Moor and were hot on the heels of Liverpool in pursuit of the League title; Burnley were tenth, without a win since November 9, having shipped seven goals at Manchester City in the first week of December. It took Leeds a while to get the result out of their system even though they managed to quickly stabilise things. A refocusing on defensive basics delivered three successive goalless draws in the League immediately after the debacle at Turf The Yorkshire Evening Post of 23 December 1968 carries Terry Moor, though the points they dropped cost them top Lofthouse's report of United's thrashing of Burnley 2 days previously - featuring pictures of Mick Jones in a painful clash spot.

Synopsis Set in 1960’s and 1970’s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don’s boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough’s belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. THE DAMNED UNITED stars Michael Sheen (The Deal, The Queen, Frost/Nixon) as the legendary, opinionated football manager Brian Clough with Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sweeney Todd) as his right hand man, only friend, and crutch Peter Taylor.
